Every year we take up to 1000 people on short term mission assignments focused on sharing the gospel through word and deed and assisting new MB churches being formed in communities around the world.  Some pastors wonder how to "wake up their congregation" so that local and global mission becomes personal.  I can't think of a better way than joining us for a short-term assignment focused on making mission real for people. 

(Check out our DMI ministry at www.dminternational.org  for some great short term assignments or call the office in your region at 1-888-866-6267 to get more information.)

MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS
-A great mission consultation in Bogota, Colombia in November with all Latin American missionaries, conference partners and MBMSI program staff brought new vision, team unity and strength to our work together in the region.
-The eight regional mission celebrations in cities across North America this fall brought the MB family together to hear mission stories from the frontlines, share some great music and meet the MBMS International staff team. 
-Three families have now applied to join the new South Thailand church planting team in the tsunami rebuilding area.
-The TREK teams serving in Eastern Germany, Thailand and Portugal and individuals serving in Burkina Faso, Costa Rica and Panama are seeing lots of open doors, favor and ministry opportunities!

ITEMS FOR PRAYER
-The three missionary families on the Delhi team have found homes in their ministry community. Pray that they will have opportunities to connect with their neighbors.
